Compact and powerful, the Vintage Ultra v2 from Darkglass Electronics sports all the versatility and tonal possibilities of the original but with new features like user-loadable cabinet simulation IRs, a stereo 3.5mm headphone output, and a balanced XLR direct output, both with cab simulation. With 4-band EQ control, you can sculpt the ultimate tones.

The EQ control includes two 3-way switches, one for low-mid frequencies and one for high-mid frequencies, providing further refinement of your bass's sonic character. You get even more control with the Grunt switch, which provides three levels of bass boost, and an Attack switch, which offers you the ability to boost or cut treble content before saturation. Independent Drive control lets you dial in the ideal amount of saturation, while Blend lets you deftly mix your wet and dry signals however you see fit. You also get two separate footswitches—one footswitch for engaging or deactivating the drive circuit and one for bypassing the pedal entirely.

A: The Samyang 12mm f/2.0 AF Compact Ultra-Wide Angle Lens for Sony E-Mount (B&H# SA1220SE) stands alone in its price range for a low cost ultrawide APS-C AF lens. Not only is it a speedy lens at f/2.0, but the combination of its two extra-low dispersion elements, one aspherical element, and one hybrid-aspherical element in combination with your setting the aperture to f/2.8 or higher do a tremendous job to virtually eliminate the many types of distortion you'd normally expect in this type of lens. Those abilities make it great for astrophotography and outstanding for shooting landscapes.
